Look at /boot/lilo, where does it points ? Do you have modified it by hand ? (possible values are currently lilo-text, lilo-graphic, lilo-menu, lilo-bmp). It should point to a directory containing the real boot.b for the right stage2 lilo, after that /boot/boot.b should point to lilo/boot.b (always the case, previously the choice was made changing /boot/boot.b (to /boot/boot-menu.b for example) but now to use different message file suitable for the used stage2 lilo, only /boot/lilo is a symlink suggested to change).

A new extension (official) from lilo authors to support 640x480 bmp file in 16 colors. Look at README.bitmaps in lilo documentation for more details. But really, don't you think 640x480 (or even 800x600) in 256 colors is not better ? François.

Argh, oups, shame on me: you were right: I don't know how it happens, lilo was no more a link, fixing it solved just magically the problem, I am now back to lilo (I like also grub, but...)
